Match Reaction v Man Utd

[Letters]

Did Wenger say he was injured? I haven't seen him say that.

If you had a job at 6 million a year wouldnt you lie though, what a cunt!!!!!

What??? Bankers do it all the time.

on the substitution of Andrey Arshavin for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain…
I can understand that the fans are upset about the substitution, especially when it doesn’t work, but I made the right decision at the start of the game [in starting Oxlade-Chamberlain]. He had started fatigue, stretched his calf and he was sick in the week.

People pay for their tickets and are free to express their emotions. We have to deal with that, not to dictate behaviour to people.

BS obviously

No, he said he had been sick earlier in the week and had felt a twinge during the match. You could clearly see Ox not limping, not indicating any problem, Ox destroying the Utd back line and then going straight to the bench without any treatment, so what Wenger is saying must be true.

Yeah but not for a £6mill pittance.

The more I read it, the more unbearable it gets. The worst thing, if he really was tired, would have been to rest him for the next match, and that could have made a real difference against mutd. It was a fecking key moment in the game.

He probably won't be playing in the next match anyway and had been overlooked for weeks beforehand. If he's tired after 72 minutes in a whole season then he's not going to make it as a footballer.

Yeah he did, he alluded to it anyway, stopping just short of catergorically saying was injured. Why? Because that would have been a plain lie, at least by saying he started to tire and was sick in the week he could attempt to justify it, even though it's still a crock of shit.

He embarrassed himself yesterday and has now lost the trust of everyone.

The writing is on the wall.

It was quite clearly the wrong thing to do. . .Oxo was quite clearly up for it and was one of a few players who were playing like we could have snatched the game. . .Kos was another!

I dont get it at all. . .was expected the mentor protecting the prodigy line. . .but the toss we have been dealt this time is worse than that

Already? What does it say this time? "Regrettable but necessary 10% increase in ticket prices."
